DescriptionNishi Hongwanji’s Amida Hall enshrines Amida Nyorai as its principal image. One of the temple’s two great halls alongside the Goeido, it forms a central space of Amida devotion at the head temple of the Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha school. The broad outer sanctuary and richly gilded inner sanctuary have received the prayers of generations of followers, conveying quiet peace together with the dignity of a major temple.
